So there are at least two Kaufman's girls here? LOL!!

Jenn, the other sentence combined with ur thought is great!
I love that one, and thanks for sharing!! :)
BTW, ur thought, IMO, is strongly linked to the meaning in City of Angels; more than a love story, it reminds us that the world we're in is worth treasuring, and that's why an angel decides to fall.

Oh, and of course The Family Man is full of wonderful quotes! smile

(Bon? Where's Randy's post? I can't find it! confuse )

Hello Ladies,
small contribution to the list:
Absolute absolute first quote I LOVE
is from Adaútation - I am the Kaufman´s girl, right?
So: You are what you love, not what loves you.
Another quote is not from the movie, it is by H. Miller:

Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Because I think, life is damn short, and we have to enjoy every moment of it, every breath, every step, every minute in our lives, because THIS IS LIFE, and life consists from "small" short moments, right?

BTW: Familly man is full of very strong sentences, which can influence you, I love all part Jack to Kate good by from the jersy.

re: "There is always a lesson in each quote, isn't it? "

INDEED THERE IS!

I gotta tell you, Randy girl.............you named some of MY favorite quotes. I've lived a few of em actually..............

Gerfalcon · Moody 'Wolverine' Freak

Oh, Bon, you know this question is too difficult to answer... not because I have none to share but because there are too many of them!!

My fav line is my signature... a line from The Rock. It tells us that we can't be satisified with ourselves all the time and should do more than our 'best' to really be a successful person.

Another nine quotes come to my mind (in no particular order):

I don't understand a God who would let us meet, if there's no way we could ever be together.
-City of Angels

Heroes are something we create, something we need.
It's a way for us to understand what's almost incomprehensible, how people could sacrifice so much for us,
and if we wish to truly honor these men, we should remember them the way they really were.
-Flags of Our Fathers

Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself.
-Good Will Hunting

We both know that I'm a drunk. And I know you are a hooker.
I hope you understand that I am a person who is totally at ease with that, which is not to say that I'm indifferent or I don't care, I do.
It simple means that I trust and accept your judgment.
-Leaving Las Vegas

It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.
-Million Dollar Baby

1. This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime.
2. All I've ever done in my life is making my way here to you.
-The Bridges of Madison County

I'll do that because I love you. I love you, and that's more important to me than our address. I choose us.
-The Family Man

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-The Hours

There is always a lesson in each quote, isn't it? smile

Oooh that speech by Ronnie is like pure poetry. Nic sounds heartwrenching delivering those lines. My fave moment in Moonstruck.

My fave lines? Impossible to choose. But the ones that come to mind come from Donald Kaufman, that Patron Saint of the Oblivious: "You´re what you love, not what loves you". Words of wisdom that were stuck on my desk for a very long time.

I ran across the following article today (google shoots me anything that has 'Nicolas Cage' in it) and thought that this was a topic question that people might have fun with.

So this is the question to answer........

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE QUOTES????

And here is the article that triggered the question! Enjoy!

Its the powerful and compelling line that makes men cringe and makes women swoon and blush.

When Noah told Allie that he still had feelings for her in the film the Notebook amidst the pouring rain, it set millions of hearts a-flutter and catapulted the couple to superstar status.

You can call these romantic lines cheesy, you can call them cringe worthy or you can even call them downright corny, but lets face it, these lines stick in your mind and your heart because they define the moment.

Whether you are in the throes of a blossoming new-found romance or youve been in a relationship for quite some time now, and as much as you might cringe at the word love, you have to admit that these lines can make you sigh even for a little bit.

So in the interest in making men cringe and women swoon, I now present to you our top 10 most romantic movie quotes of all time:

10. Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didnt know this either, love dont make things niceit ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We arent here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and dieNow I want you to come upstairs with me and get in my bed!Nicolas Cage, Moonstruck

9. If theres any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, its almost impossible to succeed, butwho cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.- Julie Delpy, Before Sunrise

8. I love that you get cold when its 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when youre looking at me like Im nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And its not because Im lonely, and its not because its New Years Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.- Billy Crystal, When Harry Met Sally

7. You make me wanna be a better man. - Jack Nicholson, As Good as it Gets

6. Yes it wasnt over, it still isnt over. Ryan Gosling, The Notebook

5. If you love someone, you say it, say it right then and there, out loud, otherwise the moment just passes you by. - Dermot Mulroney, My best friends wedding

4. Love does not end when we dont see each other. - Sara Miles, The End of the Affair

3. I love you. You complete me. - Tom Cruise, Jerry Maguire

2. I guarantee that well have tough times. And I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us will want to get out. But I also guarantee that if I dont ask you to be mine, Ill regret it for the rest of my life. Because I know in my heart you are the only one for me. - Julia Roberts, Runaway Bride

1. Alyssa: Why are we stopping?

Holden: Because I cant take this.

Alyssa: Cant take what?

Holden: I love you.

Alyssa: You love me?

Holden: I love you. And not in a friendly way, although I think were great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although Im sure thats what youll call it. And its not because youre unattainable. I love you. Very simple, very truly. Youre the epitome of every attribute and quality Ive ever looked for in another person. I know you think of me as just a friend, and that crossing that line is the farthest thing from an option youd ever consider. But I had to say it. I cant take it anymore. I cant stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I cant look into your eyes without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I cant talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. I know this will probably queer our friendship-no pun intended-but I had to say it, because Ive never felt this before, and I like who I am because of it. And if bringing it to light means we cant hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But I couldnt allow another day to go by without getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And Ill accept that. But I know some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, that means you feel something, too. All I ask is that you not dismiss that-at least for 10 seconds-and try to dwell in it. Alyssa, there isnt another soul on this fking planet whos ever made me half the person I am when Im with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because its there between you and me. You cant deny that. And even if we never speak again after tonight, please know that Im forever changed because of who you are and what youve meant to me, which-while I do appreciate it-Id never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of. - Ben Affleck, Chasing Amy
